Celebrity autobiographies are everywhere. Richard Wilson has always said he'd never write one.
Based on glimmers of truth, BELIEVE IT is the hilarious, bizarre, revealing (and, most importantly, untrue) celebrity
radiography of Richard Wilson.He narrates the series, weaving in and out of dramatised scenes from his fictional life-story.
He plays a heavily exaggerated version of himself: a Scots actor and national treasure, unmarried, private, passionate about
politics, theatre and Manchester United (all true), who's a confidant of the powerful and has survived childhood poverty,
a drunken father, years of fruitless grind, too much success, monstrosity, addiction, charity work, secret work for governments
and fierce rivalry with Sean Connery (not true). All the melodramatic staples of celebrity-autobiography are wonderfully undercut
by Richard's deadpan delivery.(The title - in case you hadn't spotted - is an unashamed reference to his famous catchphrase.)Richard
is supported by a small core cast viz:David Tennant ,John Sessions, Lewis Macleod, Arabella Weir and Jane Slavinwho
play anyone and everyone!
